Gemini 3.0 and Nano Banana 2 Leaked: Is This Why ChatGPT 5.1 Was Released Early?

How might OpenAI’s ChatGPT 5.1 update be connected to Google’s soon-to-be-announced Gemini 3.0 and Nano Banana 2 models? Here are all the leaks and possible scenarios.

OpenAI acted a bit earlier than expected on Wednesday, bringing the ChatGPT 5.1 update to users. Although the update had appeared in some leaks before the official announcement, it was still considered a rather sudden move.

Those who closely follow the AI world have already heard the rumors that Google will soon introduce Gemini 3.0 (or Gemini 3) and the new image generation model Nano Banana 2. Nano Banana 2 went viral on the internet last weekend, and it was claimed the model could be introduced this week. This is seen as a possible reason for OpenAI’s rapid release of ChatGPT 5.1.

However, all of this is just speculation for now. Still, there are some clues suggesting Google is preparing for a major AI announcement. As noticed by users who track new software features on X, the following phrases appear in the code of the Gemini iPhone app:

“Try 3 Pro to create images with the newer version of Nano Banana.”

BREAKING 🚨: A mention of Gemini 3 Pro and a “newer” Nano Banana has been spotted in the latest build for the Gemini app on iOS.

This appears to be a promo announcement that we will see as soon as it is out.

This sentence clearly looks like a promotional text indicating that the Gemini 3.0 Pro model will be marketed together with Nano Banana 2. Of course, everything will become clear with Google’s official announcement. However, looking at the leaks that have emerged in recent weeks, it becomes clearer why Gemini 3.0 needs Nano Banana 2.

Gemini 3 + Nano Banana 2: Could It Change the Coding Experience?

In videos that spread online a few weeks ago, it was claimed that Gemini 3.0 could clone operating systems like iOS and macOS exactly. When a user told the AI to create a phone or computer operating system, Gemini could fulfill the request and produce a working version.

This capability could pave the way for a new approach called “vibe-coding.” This means users could develop applications just by giving commands, without dealing with complex interface design. If the image generation examples that leaked last month are accurate, Gemini will be able to design the application’s menus, buttons, and other interface elements in high quality with just a detailed text prompt.

Why Does Nano Banana 2 Seem Essential?

To create such detailed application experiences, Gemini 3 needs access to powerful image and video generation models. Months ago, Nano Banana and Veo were thought to be sufficient for these tasks. However, the recent viral examples from Nano Banana 2—especially the images where the AI could perfectly mimic the Windows operating system—show that the updated model offers much higher accuracy.

Therefore, it seems almost certain that Gemini 3 will leverage Nano Banana 2 when creating visually rich application experiences. Still, all of this is based only on observations and leaks.
